The new site is more mobile friendly, automatically adjusting to your cellphone or tablet screen for the best user experience. 

We encourage anyone who has not visited the website recently to log in to find the region’s premiere news site. 

The Valdosta Daily Times delivers the news throughout the day, every day.

We update Facebook and Twitter social media sites throughout the day.
